Description
本発明は一種のイヤホンのイヤーピースに係り、特にイヤーピースに緩衝部が設けられ、これにより装着時にねじれ変形して耳道にフィットし、圧迫感を減らし装着感を良好とし、並びに空隙を減らして聴取品質を高めるイヤーピースに関する。 The present invention relates to an earpiece of a kind of earphone, and in particular, a shock-absorbing portion is provided on the earpiece, thereby torsionally deforming and fitting to the ear canal when worn, reducing the feeling of pressure and improving the feeling of wearing, and reducing the gap and listening It relates to earpieces that enhance quality.
イヤープラグ式のイヤホン構造の体積は小さく、発声器が直接耳孔中に挿入されるため、使用者は周りの人に迷惑をかけずにデジタル音声を聴取でき、コンパクトで軽量であり、携帯に便利な実用性を有するため、すでにMP3プレイヤー、携帯電話、PDA或いはノートパソコン等の関係電子製品の必要なアクセサリとなっている。 The earplug type earphone structure has a small volume and the sound generator is inserted directly into the ear canal, so users can listen to digital audio without disturbing the people around them, and it is compact and lightweight, convenient to carry Therefore, it has already become a necessary accessory for related electronic products such as MP3 players, mobile phones, PDAs and notebook personal computers.
図9に示されるように、周知のイヤープラグ式イヤホン構造は、イヤホン本体1とイヤーピース2で構成され、イヤホン本体1の側辺は外向きに延伸されて音筒部11が設けられている。イヤーピース2はクラゲ形を呈し、軟質ゴム材質で音筒部11頸部及び凸環111に嵌合される。軟質ゴム材質のイヤーピース2は適度に変形して外耳道3を緊密に塞ぎ、装着に便利とされる。
As shown in FIG. 9, the well-known ear plug-type earphone structure includes an earphone
周知のとおり、各個人の音声に対する感受性は異なり、且つ耳朶、耳道構造の形状、サイズはいずれも異なるが、既存の周知のプラグ式イヤホン構造は、イヤーピースの緩衝機能及び角度調整設計上、いまだ完全ではなく、ゆえに、一般の応用時に外耳道の圧迫感が増し、比較的大きな耳朶に装着する時に、イヤーピースが外耳道に真に緊密にフィットせず空隙を発生して低音が外漏れし、音質が悪くなることが、その主要な欠点であった。 As is well known, the sensitivity of each individual to the sound is different, and the shape and size of the earlobe and ear canal structure are different, but the existing well-known plug-type earphone structure is still in the design of the earpiece buffer function and angle adjustment. It is not perfect, so the pressure of the external auditory canal increases during general application, and when worn on a relatively large earlobe, the earpiece does not fit tightly into the external auditory canal, creating gaps and leaking bass and sound quality. Getting worse was the main drawback.
上述の周知のイヤホン構造の欠点を鑑み、本発明者は積極的に研究開発を重ね、一種のイヤホンのイヤーピースを提供し、それは、
出音端と入音端を具えてイヤホンの音筒部に嵌合された中空管体と、
該管体の出音端に延設されて外耳道に挿入される外カバーと、
該管体の出音端に設けられる緩衝部と、
を包含する。
In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the well-known earphone structure, the present inventor actively researched and developed to provide a kind of earphone earpiece,
A hollow tubular body having a sound output end and a sound input end and fitted to a sound tube portion of the earphone;
An outer cover that extends to the sound output end of the tube and is inserted into the ear canal;
A buffer provided at the sound output end of the tube;
Is included.
本発明は該緩衝部の有効設計により、着用時にねじれ変形しやすく、各種の異なる外耳道のサイズと形状に適合可能で、装着感を良好とし、外耳道の圧迫感を減らし、空隙を発生せず聴取品質を高めることができる。 Due to the effective design of the buffer portion, the present invention is easily twisted and deformed when worn, can be adapted to various different sizes and shapes of the external auditory canal, has a good feeling of wearing, reduces the pressure of the external auditory canal, and does not generate a gap. Quality can be improved.
本発明の技術内容、構造特徴、達成する目的を詳細に説明するため、以下に実施例を挙げ並びに図面を組み合わせて説明する。 In order to describe in detail the technical contents, structural features, and objects to be achieved of the present invention, examples will be described below in combination with the drawings.
図1、2に示されるように、本発明のイヤホンのイヤーピース2は、クラゲ形を呈する軟質ゴム材質のイヤホンのイヤーピース2とされ、それは、
入音端211と出音端212を具え、該入音端211中に係止環状溝213が設けられた中空管体21と、
該中空管体21の出音端212より後方に延設されてカバー状を呈する弾性体とされ、円弧状或いは傘状とされる外カバー22と、
該中空管体21の出音端212に設けられた外環状溝231とされ、該外環状溝231の緩衝高さaは1.0〜2.0mmとされる緩衝部23と、
を包含し、上述の構成要件を包含してなるイヤーピース2であって、その高さは6〜8mmとされる。
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the

The
図3〜図5に示されるように、イヤーピース2は、流線顆粒状のイヤホン本体1に嵌合され、該イヤホン本体1の側辺に外向きに音筒部11が延設され、且つ音筒部11は凸環111を有し、該凸環111が入音端211の係止環状溝213に係合される。イヤーピース2が耳朶に装着される時、図4、5に示されるように、全体のイヤーピース2の高さが6〜10mmとされ、並びに外環状溝231を有する緩衝高さaが1.0から2.0mmとされ(図2のとおり)、さらに外カバー22が設計上、全体の中空管体21をカバーすることから、湾曲効果が360度で表示されるなら、その緩衝部23は応用受力時に2辺の波形曲張効果により、有効な湾曲角度θが0〜40度の間とされ、イヤーピース2着用時に容易にねじれ変形し、緩衝と湾曲効果を発生する。これにより、適度に各種の異なる外耳道3のサイズと形状に緊密にフィットし、着用感を良好とし、外耳道3の圧迫感を減らし、また緊密に着用されて空隙を発生しにくく、これにより聴取品質をアップできる。
As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the
次に、図6から図8に示されるように、本発明のイヤホンのイヤーピース2の別の実施例によると、その緩衝部23は断面が短く切り取った波形とされて、中空管体21の出音端212に設けられ並びに入音端211に隣接し、それは、互いに隣接する内環状溝232と外環状溝231を包含する。該内環状溝232は第1内環状溝2321或いは第2内環状溝2322とされるか、或いは、第1内環状溝2321と第2内環状溝2322で構成され、外環状溝231の緩衝高さaは0.5〜1.5mmとされ、且つ外環状溝231の内径は中空管体21の内径より小さく、これにより、比較的大きな外環状溝231幅が形成されている。緩衝部23は少なくとも一対の、互いに隣接する内環状溝232(第1内環状溝2321及び第2内環状溝2322)と外環状溝231で構成され、並びに外環状溝231が比較的大きな幅を形成させられ、外環状溝231の緩衝高さaは0.5〜1.5mmとされることにより、イヤーピース2着用時にさらに容易にねじれ変形し、有効な湾曲角度θは0〜40度とされることで、良好な緩衝と湾曲効果を形成し、各種の異なる外耳道3のサイズと形状に緊密にフィットし、外耳道3に対する圧迫感を減らし並びに聴取品質をアップする。
Next, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, according to another embodiment of the
以上述べたことは、本発明の実施例にすぎず、本発明の実施の範囲を限定するものではなく、本発明の特許請求の範囲に基づきなし得る同等の変化と修飾は、いずれも本発明の権利のカバーする範囲内に属するものとする。 The above description is only an example of the present invention, and does not limit the scope of the present invention.
